Almost out of Canada.
That part of the ride is so dang boring.

Sorting my desk out and the cabling around it.
Then moving some VM's onto a RDX tape for backup, before destroying two hosts and resetting them up. Not sure if i'm going to use Hyper-V/ESXi Free/XenServer yet on them

Technical debt? I can understand the restrictions and the cost factor, but is their tech debt?

Yes it's technical debt if you become locked into a platform unable to change for one reason or another. Or an unwillingness to change.

What is locking you into a platform and stopping you from changing?

An unwillingness to change due to a comfort level with a certain product is technical debt.

Also it falls into the sunk-cost fallacy realm as well.

Choosing a current platform is completely the opposite of technical debt.
Just because the platform costs moeny or lacks features compared to other platforms does not do that.

Choosing it because you "like it" is and does fall into that realm.

Using a free product doesn't change that.

No, that is not how that works.

I thought technical debt was choosing the easier option over the best option
-
@wirestyle22 That's how I understand it.

Sure it is, you're choosing what you know, even if that product doesn't give you the best benefits. It may or it may not.
While there is value in using what you know, it shouldn't be the sole deciding factor in a decision.
